Travel isn’t always rainbows and puppies. Sometimes bad things happen and sometimes we visit places that we don’t like. I know, I know, there’s something good to be found everywhere; except when you don’t want to find it. Usually when I don’t like a new city or destination it’s because I was in a bad mood or something rubbed me the wrong way.

’s path to travel started back in 1996, when he decided to chase his passion for travel and take a trek around the world. After college, Chris had a desire to learn about different cultures and visit places that he had only read about in books. Like many of his clients, he didn’t know where to begin. He started by traveling around the world for 15 months. When he returned from that first RTW (round the world) trip, all he could think about was getting back on the road.

Whenever tourism is spoken about in the UK, particularly from overseas visitors, few would disagree that London is the first name that comes to mind. In fact, scrap that, it’s usually the only name.
This perhaps does a disservice to the rest of the country. As today’s title might have already given away, we’re now going to talk about Portsmouth and how this can be more than a viable alternative to the UK capital. Portsmouth isn’t just great for the hotels, which are of much better value than Lon...

“Nikkei” just sounds like a word people are going to use wrong.
You can almost hear a half dozen people sitting around a violet-lit table in some SoHo hotspot asking stuff like, “Is the octopus tonight Nikkei? Perhaps you could go back and ask the chef.”
